Sir Moses I. Finley FBA, born Moses Isaac Finkelstein (20 May 1912 – 23 June 1986), was an American-born British academic and classical scholar. His prosecution by the McCarran Security Committee led to his move to England, where he became an English classical scholar and eventually master of Darwin College, Cambridge. His most notable work is The Ancient Economy (1973), where he argued that status and civic ideology governed the economy in antiquity rather than rational economic motivations.
Finley was born in 1912 in New York City to Nathan Finkelstein and Anna Katzenellenbogen. About 1936, he took the surname Finley. He had no second forename, but used the initial 'I'.
He was educated at Syracuse University, where, aged fifteen, he graduated magna cum laude in psychology and Columbia University. Although his M.A. was in public law, most of his published work was in the field of ancient history, especially the social and economic aspects of the classical world.
Moses (/ˈmoʊzɪz, -zɪs/;Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה, Modern Moshe Tiberian Mōšéh ISO 259-3 Moše; Syriac: ܡܘܫܐ Moushe; Arabic: موسى Mūsā; Greek: Mωϋσῆς Mōÿsēs in both the Septuagint and the New Testament) is a prophet in Abrahamic religions. According to the Hebrew Bible, he was a former Egyptian prince who later in life became a religious leader and lawgiver, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. The historical consensus is that Moses is not an historical figure. Also called Moshe Rabbenu in Hebrew (מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּנוּ, lit. "Moses our Teacher"), he is the most important prophet in Judaism. He is also an important prophet in Christianity, Islam, Baha'ism as well as a number of other faiths.
According to the Book of Exodus, Moses was born in a time when his people, the Israelites, an enslaved minority, were increasing in numbers and the Egyptian Pharaoh was worried that they might ally with Egypt's enemies. Moses' Hebrew mother, Jochebed, secretly hid him when the Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed in order to reduce the population of the Israelites. Through the Pharaoh's daughter (identified as Queen Bithia in the Midrash), the child was adopted as a foundling from the Nile river and grew up with the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slavemaster (because the slavemaster was smiting a Hebrew), Moses fled across the Red Sea to Midian, where he encountered the God of Israel speaking to him from within a "burning bush which was not consumed by the fire" on Mount Horeb (which he regarded as the Mountain of God).
Moses or Moshe is a male given name, after the biblical figure Moses.
According to the Torah, the name "Moses" comes from the Hebrew verb, meaning "to pull/draw out" [of water], and the infant Moses was given this name by Pharaoh's daughter after rescuing him from the Nile (Exodus 2:10). Some scholars have suggested that the name was derived from the Egyptian word for "son" rather than from Hebrew.

"Moses" is a song by British alternative rock band Coldplay. It was written by all members of the band for their live album, Coldplay Live 2003. The song was released on 6 October 2003 as the only single from the album.
The song was written about lead singer Chris Martin's then wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. Martin has said that the song is "about falling in love with the most beautiful woman in the world." The song's title later served as the namesake for the couple’s second child, Moses Bruce Anthony Martin. It was written in mid-2002 during the A Rush of Blood to the Head sessions but it got rejected.
In 1973 Moses Finley published a book, The Ancient Economy, based on a series of lectures he had given the previous year. Though the radical challenge he presented was not new he was to become the most prominent advocate among ancient historians of what is known as the substantivist or primitivist position. In the wake of Marxism economics was to be first substantial expansion of the historical field, particularly in the early decades of the twentieth century. But historians like Rostovzeff or the Annales group in France broadly assumed economics represented universal truths and could popular understandings of it were easily transferable to historical evidence. Finley would argue forcefully (and not alone, Marshall Sahlins and Karl Polanyi were very much part of the same movement) that in ...

Introduction to Ancient Greek History (CLCV 205) In this lecture, Professor Kagan addresses what scholars call the Homeric question. He asks: what society do Homer's poems describe? He argues that in view of the long oral transmission of the poems, the poems of Homer probably reflect various ages from the Mycenaean world to the Dark Ages. More importantly, close scrutiny of the poems will yield historical information for the historian. In this way, one is able to reconstruct through the poems, to a certain extent, the post-Mycenaean world. Finally, Professor Kagan says a few words on the heroic ethic of the Greek world. 00:00 - Chapter 1. The Importance of Homeric Poems 13:08 - Chapter 2.

Τα κύματα θα είναι μεγάλα. Ο άνεμος θα είναι δυνατός και εμείς θα αναρωτιόμαστε εάν έχουμε την δύναμη για να την ξεπεράσουμε. Μερικές φορές οι καταιγίδες μας ξαφνιάζουν. Δεν μπορούμε να επιλέξουμε πότε θα έρθει η καταιγίδα, αλλά ούτε την διάρκεια και την σφοδρότητα της. Έχουμε όμως την επιλογή να διαλέξουμε εάν θα αφιερώσουμε την προσοχή μας στην καταιγίδα ή στον άρχοντα της θάλασσας και του ουρανού. Ο Χριστός είναι μαζί μας σε κάθε καταιγίδα και μας προσελκύει, με τα δυνατά του χέρια, ώστε να μας σηκώσει πά...

of doing this album, I want to thank Timbaland who came up with
the beats and all the people who appeared on my album
